on your one post you talked about tung oil/ mineral spirts/oil varish.havent seen too many people using this. i tired of other finishes.and have made this for the most part the only finish i use.i still use shellac for color or sanding sealer.i use a 1:1:1 like you do cut 50% with ms for sanding sealer and to penetrate wood.i use several ratios and finish with 1:1:6 the 6 being varnish.i am doing mostly household trim windows,doors and door jams.i like to use pure turp. insteed of ms by the wife complains about the turp.just curious what other ratios you use.
